Ninety-Six Hours
A story of love, loss, and
what remains when everything changes.
Christine Dawood’s debut book is a deeply personal
account of the frantic search for the Titan
submersible — and the life, love, and resilience that
carried her through it.
Launching 12 May in US UK.
A NOTE FROM CHRISTINE
“I did not write this book to revisit headlines. I wrote it to tell the truth about what those ninety-six hours felt like from the inside.”
~ Christine Dawood
This is the story of a wife and mother living through uncertainty, fear, love, memory, and the unbearable weight of not knowing. But it is also a story about what happens after the search ends — what we hold onto, what we lose, and what helps us keep going.
My hope is that this book meets people wherever they are in their own lives: in grief, in change, in love, in hope, or in the quiet work of beginning again.
THE BOOK
A story of love, loss, and what remains when everything changes
When the Titan submersible went missing in the North Atlantic, the world watched the countdown. For Christine Dawood, those ninety-six hours were not a news cycle. They
were a living nightmare.
In Ninety-Six Hours, Christine shares an intimate account of those days and of the life she built with her husband Shahzada and son Suleman — two deeply loved people whose curiosity, warmth, and sense of wonder shaped everything around them.
This is a story of unimaginable loss. It is also a story of love that does not end, and of a woman finding the strength to move forward while carrying memory, meaning, and legacy with her.
EARLY PRAISE
“Christine Dawood’s remarkable account of
the ninety-six hours that cruelly claimed the
lives of her husband and son remains with
you long after the last page. This is not just
a tale of unfathomable loss, but a
celebration of the human spirit, as she
writes about the wonder of lives lived with
curiosity and love that transcends death
itself.”
~ Rebecca Hardy
Daily Mail
“An unflinching hour-by-hour account of
the unbearable tragedy that captured the
world’s attention. Yet, even as the
investigation into the implosion of the Titan
begins, it is Christine’s resilience and her
loving determination to honour her beloved
husband and son which shines through.”
~ Pamela Gordon
Journalist & Director, BBC Documentary
Implosion: The Titanic Sub Disaster
“Christine’s grief has unfolded under
extraordinary public scrutiny. Yet she
writes with the quiet honesty and
tenderness of someone walking beside a
friend in the woods.”
